A SAD CASE.

A sad but by no means rare il
lustration of the curse of the gam
bling fever is the career of young
Wade, of Glenview, Pa. He borrow
ed $1,000 from his father, and by
shrewd speculations in wheat and
stocks made million dollars. Not
content with this fortune, he greedily
sought to gain more by making deals
and speculations of a very question:
Bile character, and in shorter time
than it had taken him to make his
million dollars he lost everything.
As he began to lose he sought COM
fort in the bottle, and when financial
ruin came he attempted to commit
suicide by hanging just the day be-
fore he was to be married to beau
tiful and accomplished lady. He
made million dollars, and with it
he made fool of himself.

INCESSANT WORKERS.

An Illinois minister recently gave
utterance to some very great truths
in the following: There is a class
OF people in this country who get up
at five o'clock in the morning, and
they never get back into bed until
ten or eleven at night; who work
without ceasing thu whole of that
time, and receive no other emolument
than food and clothing. Though
harrassed by hundred responsible
ties, though driven and worried,
though reproached and looked down
upon, they never revolt and they
cannot organize for their protection.
Not even sickness release them from
their post. No sacrifices is deemed
too great for them to make, and no
incompetency in any branch of their
work is excused. No essays, or
books, or poems are written in trib-
ute of their steadfastness. They die
in harness and are supplanted as
quickly as may be. They are the
housekeepers of the laboring men of
the country"

A BRAVE WOMAN.

The schooner, Racine, the crew of
which rescued the survivors of the
Champlain disaster, report that when
the Champlain caught fire the Ra-
cine was laying alongside pier, six
miles from Charlevoix. Capt. Han
son woke up and saw the burning
steamer and sent part of his crew
In a yawl to rescue the perishing
passengers. With the remainder of
his crew he ran down the beach to
an old fish boat, launched it and
started for the wreck. When about
halt way to the Champlain, Captain
Hanson came across young woman
who was swimming toward the shore
with child. This was Mary Wake
field, of Charlevoix. She had Jump
ed overheard with a six-year-old
child OF Capt. Kehoe clasped IN her
arms. Grasping a broken fender,
she chung to it, and seizing the cloth
ing Of the child in her teeth, she
bravely struck out tor the shore.
Capt. Hanson says she is the pluck
lest woman he ever saw in his life.
When he started to take her into the
boat, she told him to hurry away to
the others, as she could take care of
herself. She reached the shore in
safety, and when another of the ship
wrecked passengers was taken from
the boat in an almost frozen condi-
ton, she took off her flannel under.
skirt and wrapped it around him.
